Full Description
View Full DescriptionSitka Spruce & Mahogany Back and Sides
The choice of a Sitka Spruce top delivers a bright and clear tone with a warm character. This particular tonewood is extremely vibrant providing an ideal “diaphragm” for transmission of sound on any size and style of stringed instrument. It is the primary top wood for Martin guitars due to its straight, uniform grain, longevity and tensile strength. Combined with Mahogany, the Sitka Spruce top adds a beautiful contrast to the overall appearance of the 00L-17E.
Due to it’s rich heritage, Mahogany backs and sides can be heard on loads of old recordings, and the inherent character of the tone lends itself well to blues and roots music to this day. In addition, it also provides a punchier and darker tone, with a prominent ‘woody’ midrange.
Auditorium Body Shape
Its classic hourglass figure means it can sit comfortably on the knee, and is ideal for players of folk and other fingerpicking-heavy styles of music. The shape ensures that it has the perfect balance between playing and comfort and provides an impressive balance across the tonal spectrum. The 00L-17E's overall presence tracks well with other instruments both in a studio mix and on stage, and singer-songwriters have embraced its utility both for composing and traveling with one guitar.
